Time will tell if the IC-9100 = IC7600+IC910. I am about ready to let loose of my FT-847 (maybe).
I have a Elecraft-K3 (HF/6m) + 144/28 and 1296/28 transverters. Selling the FT-847 would allow purchase of a 432/28 and maybe a 222/28 (but this is not part of the discussion re> sat radios). Of course the K3 will not do cross-band duplex (yet), so for that I would have to bring my FT-817 into the picture. So how does this stack up in $$$ K3/100 ($2000) + $600 x 3 = $3500 add a couple 100w amps and you have over the cost of a IC-9100. How do they stack up in performance? for satellites probably fine; on HF? Any other problems (like birdies)?? Comparing the IC-9100 to non-sat radios is probably not fair. 73, Ed - KL7UW At 01:08 PM 2/25/2011, John Geiger wrote: >It seems to be price about right.
